Some key lessons were also identified: • • • • • Mapping exercise requires time, planning and clear coordination/communication work. Stakeholder database is crucial. Internal review of documentation system processes and data utilization is important to know how to further refine the work towards setting up GBV Observatory. Services and referral pathways gaps should be identified to see where CHR as Gender Ombud can best help/offer support. There is value in linking up with academic institutions in the region to secure a research and documentation partner. B. GBV Challenges and Potentials The presentation elaborated on the GBV Framework which was developed as an initial result from the GBV Observatory pilot implementation. As such the framework is seen as evolving, and given gaps and parameters, can still be modified and enriched. The GBV Observatory will serve as monitoring platform, mechanism and tool as well as a resource center for relevant subject matters. The GBV framework views GBV from a point of entry: respect, protection and fulfillment of women’s rights as embodied by laws, and goes through a process: of documentation, research and data utilization, and a point of exit: on laws as implemented and on lived experiences on women’s rights and gender equality that pave way for women’s access to justice and leads to action. Nuances on how the equality and rights of women and access to justice are provided for by the law and how these are lived are possible and so must be taken into account. For instance, what was experienced may not be seen as domestic violence if the perpetrator is also the breadwinner. In the Muslim context, a rape case can be considered child marriage. Social, 15
